Ella fell asleep and snuggled up to me, she even let me wrap my arm around her. She was so cute in the red baby doll dress, hugging Greyson to her chest. Sierra said, "You think she will be ok?" I said "Yeah, we will make sure she is ok. Starting with Lauren." Alice said, "You are not dealing with Lauren; we will deal with her." i glared at the pixie "Why not?" Sierra said, "Because you'll kill her, and we can't let you do that." i rolled my eyes "She deserves it." Sierra said "That may be so, but Ari needs you. You heard what that boy did to her as a little girl, she needs you with a calm head." Alice said, "But we will leave you two alone." I said "Your right sis and thank you. But also, I think she would feel safer if she woke up with all of us." they smiled at me Sierra said, "Don't worry, we'll be back before she wakes." she kissed my head before they left the room shutting the door. For the rest of the night i simply held her as she slept, the girls came back to the bed 5 minutes before she woke up."
(AraBella's POV)
I woke up, definitely not alone in the bed. I looked around and saw Alice and Sierra quietly talking on my left side. On my right was Jasper, he was asleep with his arm around me. My head was on his chest and Greyson was in my arms hugged to my chest. I felt way more rested than I normally do, and I don't recall waking up at all. I sat up and stretched, Sierra said "Good morning, Ella." Alice said, "How do you feel?" I said, "I feel like that was the best sleep of my life, I don't remember waking up at all." Jasper mumbled, "Because you didn't." Alice said, "So what do you want for breakfast?" I said, "I don't generally eat breakfast unless its like a granola bar or something." Alice said "We can grab one from the kitchen on our way out, we are gonna go get dressed. Have you decided which outfit you want to wear?" I said, "The last one, its my favorite and its soft." Sierra squealed "We can be twinsies. I have a purple one of the exact same outfit, do you want to wear black or purple?" I said "Purple." she smiled and scurried out of bed, coming back as quick as she left with the purple one. I laughed and took it from her, putting it on. She put on the black one and we were both dressed before Alice and Jasper got back. I started to do my makeup; I did this.

While I did my makeup Alice was behind me doing my hair, she did two small French braids on the top of my head putting them into two buns with purple extensions weaved into the braids, the rest of my hair was loose and flowing down my back. Sierra started to spray my hair I said, "What are you doing?" she said "Glitter." Once we were all dressed me, and Sierra looked a lot alike only with different colors because even our hair matched. Then we headed to the mall, we got bedding, decor, and clothes and they spent way too much money on me.
After four hours I was exhausted, so we went back to the house and decorated the room. After we were done Sierra said, "You said you play a little piano?" I nodded so she said, "Can you play something for me?" I hesitated and she said "Please." I said, "I don't want to bother anyone." Alice said, "You won't, everyone will be OK with it." I sighed but let them lead me to the piano where I took a seat. I let my hand slide along the keys as I took a deep breath, then I closed my eyes and started to play. I got into my headspace where I was all alone and sang the song as I played.
Once I was finished and the last note rang out, I opened my eyes and looked at Sierra who was sitting next to me now and said, "It's the only song I know." She hugged me "That was amazing Ari!" I shrugged and said, "Uh thanks." We all went back to my room, and I fell backwards on the bed. Alice said, "Sierra and I have to do something, are you gonna be OK?" I nodded and they left. Once they were gone, I became nervous. I said "So Jasper... What do you want to do when you graduate?" He thought about it then said, "I'm not entirely sure, maybe get a PhD as a historian."
I said, "Do you like history?" He said, "I do, I think it is interesting to learn what our ancestors did, the good and the bad stuff." I thought back to his study full of civil war books and said, "Let me guess, the civil war era is your favorite?" He said, "It is so you know much about it?" I nodded "In Arizona you learn about it in almost every history class, but they call it the war against the south." He said "That's because they were confederacy. What side would you have chosen?" I shrugged "As a kid born in the 80's I'd say the union because having slaves is wrong. But if I was raised in the 1800's and lived in the south then that would be all I would know and would probably choose different. Right and wrong change as time passes, what used to be OK is not and what is OK now maybe not be in the future. You really can't judge when you don't understand how they were brought up." He said "That's an interesting take on history. Do you have any other stances on people?" I said "Tons, what specifically do you want to know." we continued to talk for a while.
